Question

I am writing some scripts to run on old Windows NT machines. I am planning on using the command-based script host (cscript) to execute them. The script are querying some SQL data and I want to retrieve the field names from the RecordSet, but it doesn’t seem to work.

This is the code I’m using:

rs.open(query, conn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly);


rs.MoveFirst();
while(!rs.eof) {
 for(field in rs.Fields) {
  WScript.Echo(field.Name); /* outputs nothing */

 }
    WScript.Echo(rs.Fields("column")); /* outputs the column value for this record (as expected)*/

 rs.MoveNext();
}

rs.close();

Edit:

Tried this as well:

while(!rs.eof) {
    WScript.Echo(rs.Fields.length); /* doesn't print anything */
    for(var i = 0; i< rs.Fields.length; i++) { /* loop isn't entered */
        WScript.Echo(rs.Fields(i).Name);
    }
    rs.MoveNext();
}

Answer 1

Try this:

  WScript.Echo(rs.Fields(0).Name);

..then interate through the index.
